Adobe Adds Licensed Music from Universal and Warner to Premiere Mobile App
Premiere mobile will soon offer up to 60-second licensed clips from UMG and WMG, with search, genre and duration filters, favorites, and curated collections. Adobe has not announced a launch date or named participating artists.
Adobe announced in November 2026 that it is partnering with Universal Music Group (UMG) and Warner Music Group (WMG) to bring a library of licensed music clips to its Premiere mobile video editing app. The feature is described as “coming soon,” with no specific launch date provided.
While Adobe has not named any specific artists involved in the partnership, the company says the library will include “popular songs” from “leading artists.” The integration will allow Premiere mobile users to add up to 60 seconds of a licensed track directly to a video, browse and search trending music by artist or track, filter by genre and duration, bookmark favorites, and explore curated label-featured collections. Users will also have access to customizable templates pre-paired with music, and will be able to export finished videos and post them to licensed social platforms.
“By bringing licensed music from UMG artists into Adobe Premiere mobile, we’re giving creators new ways to build their stories around the songs they love for the first time, while helping our artists and songwriters reach new audiences,” said Bryan Stone of Universal Music Group.
Both the Premiere Pro desktop app and Premiere mobile already include a built-in royalty-free music library, but licensed audio currently requires manual import. This update aims to streamline the process of adding recognizable music to video edits. Adobe also cited helping users quickly act on “the latest trend” as a goal of the feature.
Adobe said it may extend these updates to Premiere Pro as well, though the company had not confirmed this as of the announcement. The partnership positions Premiere mobile more directly against rivals such as CapCut, which the source identifies as a popular competitor in the mobile video editing space.
